Question

Which of the following towns developed as a satellite town?

• A. Rohtak
• B. Sindri
• C. Dispur
• D. Mhow

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A satellite town is a smaller town that develops near a larger city, often to reduce population pressure or offer a more affordable living environment, while still being closely connected to the main urban area.

• Mhow: Mhow, located near Indore in Madhya Pradesh, developed as a satellite town due to its proximity to the larger city, Indore. Mhow was initially established for military purposes, but over time it has developed into a residential area connected to Indore.
• The other options:
• Rohtak: Rohtak is a significant city and not a satellite town.
• Sindri: Sindri was developed as an industrial town and not as a satellite town.
• Dispur: Dispur is the capital of Assam and does not fit the description of a satellite town.

Therefore, Mhow is the correct answer as it developed as a satellite town.

The correct option is (D): Mhow
